How fast might one go thru a roller, because there is no way I'm going to ever use 400 or 500 lb test line? I'm guessing that the dacron wouldn't resist being cut by a gar's scales as well as fast flite? Just curious.
Ifyou try and stop or fight a big carp in it wont take too many times to wear a groove in it enough that the roller won't catch. The Muzzy Extreme is the best 200lb dacron you can get, but will cut easy on gar scales. Another problem with the 200lb fast Flite is that it will bunch up at the stripper where it comes out of the bottle. Even the 350lb BCY is alot worse than the 200lb dacron, or 400lb Fast Flite. I just started using the 500lb Power Pro and like it alot. It is the same diameter as the 400lb and really feed nice out of the bottle. I only use 12.5yds on my stingray floats and you will get knots with the 400lb since you don't have alot of line in the bottle, but out of the 50-60 shots I have taken with the Power Pro I have not had one knot yet.
